Cycle now runs on two fully isolated control planes (EU and NA) giving teams stronger data sovereignty, lower latency to region-local servers, and timezone-aware updates that land during off-peak hours. This release also makes restart and power-off events more reliable under heavy load by switching them to acknowledgements, and fixes VM hostname resolution so updated hostnames resolve correctly via discovery.
